Hello!

I’m toying with making one of those oldtime slow-games (you gain action points like every hour or day) here on lemmy. For that to work I’d need to read a users (the game bot) private messages, send messages from it and make basic posts on my lemmy server.

I looked at plemmy and posting seems OK, but I haven’t digged deeper, so any recommendations warmly welcome!

Cheers

      Thanks, I’ll check that out! Any idea if you can send and receive private messages with it (I’m not at my computer just now 🥺)?

          Got it up and working, but only if the receiver is on my (lemmy) server, any idea if that’s a voluntary limitation?

            I’m not aware of anything, maybe there’s something in the Lemmy config? Is federation generally working?

              I can send messages manually (on my lemmy server to another), but the problem is I can’t find “how to do it” programmatically. The examples are only for sending messages on the same server, I’m digging around in the git repo but haven’t found anything that works yet.

              BTW is it db0 the creator?! I should maybe head over to his server and see if he’s available.

            I could see that as a privacy measure.

            Everything on Lemmy is open anyways but maybe the maintainer didn’t want to be the guy to make Lemmy data that accessible. So it’s a limitation. You can only have Lemmy data if you are hosting the server and the community.
